23. In this paper the term "above the HOMO" means at "lower binding energies with respect to the HOMO" and "below the HOMO" "at higher binding energies with respect to the HOMO." The term 'binding energy' is used in the context of a single particle picture and generally refers to a single-photon photoemission process. It therefore corresponds to the common terminology in photoemission spectroscopy. For two-photon photoemission involving a resonant intermediate state the term refers to the second single-photon photoemission process. Here the photoemission does not occur from the ground state but from an (photo)excited state. That is why here emitted electrons can have lower binding energies than that of the HOMO.
24. Within the single-particle picture the binding energy of the HOMO equals the ionization potential. Considering an absolute uncertainty of the electron spectrometer calibration of 100 meV the extracted value of 1.3 eV is consistent with the results in Ref. 21.
